A former Commissioner for Finance and Deputy Chief of Staff during the administration of the late Governor Abiola Ajimobi, Mr. Abimbola Adekanmbi, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State.
Adekanmbi, who once sought a senatorial ticket under the APC platform in 2023, announced his exit in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the party in his Ward 1, Ibadan North East Local Government Area.
Copies of the letter were also sent to the Chairmen of Ward 4, Ona Ara Local Government, and the Oyo State APC at Oke Ado, Ibadan.
In the brief but reflective letter, Adekanmbi did not disclose his reasons for leaving the party. However, his tone suggested deep introspection and a sense of closure to what he described as a “significant chapter” of his political life.
“I hereby formally tender my resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC),” the letter began.
“This marks the close of a significant chapter in my political journey — one that began from the very inception of the Party. Through seasons of growth and challenge, I have remained steadfast in my commitment and I am grateful for the honour to contribute, in my own way, to the service and progress of our dear Oyo State.”
He expressed appreciation to colleagues and party members with whom he shared years of political collaboration, describing them as “passionate men and women” who worked selflessly for the growth of the party and the state.
“Together, we shared moments of purpose, built enduring bonds, and shaped collective memories that I will always hold dear,” he wrote, before extending his “sincere good wishes” to the APC and its members.
While Adekanmbi’s next political move remains unclear, his resignation has stirred quiet speculation within Oyo’s political circles, especially given his long-standing association with the late Ajimobi’s political structure.
